Astrophotographer Ian Inverarity: "I finally managed to get the data to finish this shot! An 8 panel mosaic (2 x 4) shot with a Nikon D810A, Sigma Art 135mm, mounted to a ZWO AM5 mount, controlled by an ASIAIR mini, focusing with a ZWO focuser. Stitching and initial processing in APP, final processing in PS. Around 45 hours of shooting for this shot, and this is half resolution!"
The Dark Horse Nebula or Great Dark Horse (sometimes called the Prancing Horse) is a large dark nebula that, from Earth's perspective, obscures part of the upper central bulge of the Milky Way. The Dark Horse lies in the equatorial constellation Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer), near its borders with the more famous constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius.
The Blue Horsehead Nebula (IC 4592) is a reflection nebula in the Scorpius constellation that is lit by the Nu Scorpii star system.
